Musical as ever, the Seventh Doctor was often seen tapping out a jaunty tune with a pair of spoons. A party trick of Sylvester McCoys, the spoon is never far from his hands. In his first story, Time and the Rani, he plays them up and down himself and even his co-stars body. Kate OMaras long-suffering face is priceless. Eagle eyed viewers of his antics on the set of The Hobbit movies will have seen him using wizards, elves, dwarves and catering staff as surfaces for his spoons, too. Go to a convention where he is holding court and he will no doubt do much the same. More recently, the Twelfth Doctor refused to use a sword in a duel against Robin Hood (Robot of Sherwood) as he opted for the humble spoon instead. Sylvester would be proud.
